Ike Weir, the Belfast Spider, did not

been made much of in Chicago, and the

Knocked Out IN the Ninth.

DENVER, Col, Dec. 2S.-Lawrence
Farrell, of Denver, and Samuel Gaun-
decker, of Pennsylvania, fought nine
rounds this afternoon at point in Wild
county about thirteen miles north of
this city. Farrell weighed lis pounds
and Gaundecker 20 pounds less. Blood
was drawn in the second round, and
Gaundecker furnished it. Gaundecker
was rather inclined to force the fight,
but after the fourth round he fought
entirely on the defensive. In
the ninth round Farrell staggered
him with hard blow on the neck, and
before he could recover dealt him an
other terrific blow with his open hand
which knocked him almost senselesS.
For moment Gaundecker staggered
and struggled to keep on his feet, but
almost instantly he fell backward and
closed both eyes. After a second or two
he crawled across the ring to the feet of
Farrell, begging in the most piteous
tones to be helped up. Time was called
and, there being no response from
Gaundecker, the referee decided i'll
favcr of Farrell. Time % minutes.

Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the danger of suffocation
while lying down; to breathe freely, sleep
soundly and undisturbed; to rise refreshed,
head clear, brain active and free from pain
or ache; to know that no poisonous, putrid
matter defiles the breath and rots away the
delicate machinery of smell taste and hear
ing; to feel that the system does not, through
its veins and arteries, suck up the poison that
is sure to undermine and destroy, is indeed
blessing beyound all other human enjoy
ments. To purchase immunity from such
fate should be the object of all afflicted. But
those who have tried many remedies and
physicians despair of relief or cure.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE meets every
phase of Catarrh. from simple head cold to
the most loathsome and destructive stages.
1t is local and constitutional. Instant in re-
lieving, permanent in curing, safe, economi-
cal and never-failing.

Red-Headed Girls and White
Horses i'm Mexico.

Speaking of ladies. [ find, after care
full investigation, that the red-headed
girl and white horse are as inseparable
here in Mexico as in the states, says a
correspondent of the st. Louis Globe
Demo crat. In coming from the City of
Mexico, a few days ago, the train
stopped at a little way station to take on
two or three passengers. The depot
was the only building at the place, and
there was not a house or ranch in sight
in any direction. One of those who got
Oh the train was a girl with flaming red
hair, an unusual thing in this country.
When l saw her l felt satisfied that |
had discovered at least one girl with red
hair who was not accompanied by
white horse, and fully made up my mind
to write up the remarkable incident.
Just then the train started, and L was
enabled to see behind the depot build
ing for the first time, and 10. and behold,
there stood three horses, one of which
was as white as the driven snow. They
were hitched TO post in the rear of the
depot, which, for awhile. hid them from
my view. So far as | could see, they
were the only horses for miles around.

With Freedom

He VentiIates His Opinions of the
West to the People of Boston
With Freedom.
J. A. Hanley, traffic manager of the
st. Paul & Kansas City road, has just
returned from the East. While IN BOS-
ton he was encountered by represent
alive of 1.-THE Evening TranScript,of that
city, to when he gave his views i'll re-
gard to railroad building and other mat
tiers in the Northwest. He said:
Eyes, there has been great amount
of railroad building down i'll the North
west during the past few years; but,
Notwithstanding what has been done,
the demands of that section of the cOun-
try have not been satisfied. There is
great stretch of territory not yet devel-
Oped, and it won't be until it is first
penetrated by railroads. The people
are different to-day from what they
were a few years back. Then they
were content to go into some unsettled
country and wait for the railroads to
come to them. Now they want railroad
communication first. The railroad
companies realize this, and wherever
they find section of country whose
natural resources they are satisfied will
support a railroad when the country is
developed, they Immediately set about
building a road and waiting for the in
fluX of people for their returns
for money expended. And in this
policy they are not wrong. You have
no idea of the large addition the North
west has received to its population in
the present decade. The East, you
know, is overcrowded, the West does
not offer the advantages it once did. and
as a consequence there is nothing left
for the immigrant but the Southwest
and the Northwest. The former has
been found inferior to the latter, and as
a consequence the tide of immigration
is turning Northwestward. By North
westward | mean the extreme North
west-the country between st. Paul and
Minneapolis and the Pacific. The fer
tiIity of the soil out that way is some
thing wonderful. Ii is rich in every
respect; not only are its agricultural re-
sources something out of the common,
but so also are its mineral resources.
Look at the immense amount of gold,
silver, iron and other metals taken each
year out of Montana and Idaho, and on
the other hand just calculate the I'M
menSe revenue derived from the cult
Walton of cereals, fruits and vegetables
In Dakota, Washington territOrr, Mime
sofa and other sections of that
country. You know how highly
what is known as Dakota No. hard
wheat is held. Where can you find its
equal?'
Mr.. Hanley then goes on to show that
through this developing of the North
west by the building of railroads, st.
Paul and Minneapolis have necessarily
been brought to the front as large trade
centerS; that thirteen different railroads
are now centering in st. Paul and
Minneapolis, and that there are twelve
others striving to get in and are all anX-
ious to make these two points so that
they can all get share of the immense
business that is to come from that vast
region between here and the Pacific
coast.
